As you can see, this skinny chicken spaghetti recipe uses just a few simple ingredients to create a delicious creamy pasta dish without all of the added fat and calories. You could substitute fat-free cheeses, but the reduced fat shred and melt much better while not adding too many calories. They definitely make it a much better dish in my opinion.

We love easy meals, and recently I found these naan bites that have made meal time so much easier! These Ranch BBQ Chicken Naan Bites are now one of our favorite easy meals. I can use shredded jackfruit on mine if not eating meat, and the guys can use this easy shredded chicken recipe.

You can use a bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce, but we prefer this homemade mixture. While it isn’t sugar-free and does have points, I prefer it over most of the sugar-substitutes and corn syrup in other bottled versions. Also, we use the zero point Ranch dressing dip recipe, but you can also use any light or regular Ranch and just account for the points as needed.

For the shredded chicken, I use this method for how to shred chicken. We cook chicken breasts in batches using various methods. Baking, Instant Pot, Crockpot, or stove top are all easy methods of cooking chicken in batches, but you can also find already shredded chicken in many grocery stores near the rotisserie chicken.

Tip: If you make a lot of chicken, you may want to invest in Zaycon Foods great deals on 40-pound boxes of chicken breasts. These are high-quality chicken breasts that are antibiotic free.

Add the chicken to the sauce mixture and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until chicken is heated through.

Spread Ranch dip or dressing on Naan dippers, using about ⅛ teaspoon for each dipper. Use just enough to coat the top of the Naan.

Spoon 1 tablespoon chicken mixture onto each piece of Naan and then top with a few pieces of green onion.

We love making simple dishes that everyone in the house likes. The best thing about these ranch bbq chicken naan bites is that I can make a batch and we all eat them with no complaints. The Wee Child leaves off the green onion, but that’s to be expected.

Growing up, we called it Dorito casserole since my mom always topped it with crunched up Dorito chips. Through the years, I have wanted to make it again, but knew it would be way too high in points. I added some zero point beans and different products that are lower in calories to give the same flavor with lower points and calories.

Stir well to combine, and cook for additional 4-5 minutes or until heated through and cheese has melted.

Line the bottom of the casserole dish with ½ tortilla chips.

Pour mixture over tortilla chips.

Top with remaining tortilla chips that have been crushed.

Top with shredded cheddar cheese.

Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling.

Making a great Mexican Chicken Casserole for your family will be a perfect way to throw together a meal you love. This is great served with a few extra tortilla chips and a side salad! It’s also a perfect meal to make ahead and prep for meals the rest of the week.

This Air Fryer Greek Stuffed Chicken Breast was a huge hit with my guys. It was so simple to make, ready in under half an hour, and healthy! I love serving with a big salad, but you could also add in some of your favorite steamed or roasted vegetables on the side. This is a great way to create a meal plan that everyone loves!

Air Fryer Greek Stuffed Chicken Breast

For this air fryer recipe, we use our own homemade Greek Salad Dressing linked below in the ingredients. You can use any low-fat Greek Salad dressing, but you may want to recalculate your points just in case it changes things a bit. Making Greek Stuffed Chicken breast was an easy option when I had just a little time and wanted something different than just a plain piece of chicken for dinner.

I have a Von Chef Air Fryer, however, a larger air fryer would be recommended. As you will see in pictures below, 4 chicken breasts is a tight squeeze in mine. The GoWise is very popular, and the Simple Living brand are both great options that have good reviews.

Emilee says her family loves these because they already are in love with Wingers Sticky Fingers. Since I have never even heard of this restaurant before so wasn’t sure what to expect. After checking out the recipe she shared and seeing the pictures, I am pretty sure this one is going to be a favorite buffalo chicken tenders recipe for many!

Tip: If you make a lot of chicken, you may want to invest in Zaycon Foods great deals on 40-pound boxes of chicken breasts. These are high-quality chicken breasts that are antibiotic free.

Bake for 15 minutes for nuggets or 20 minutes for strips or until chicken is browned and cooked through.

While chicken is in the oven, you will make your sauce mixture.

In a medium saucepan, bring the brown sugar, garlic powder, water and Frank's red hot sauce to a boil. Remove from heat and stir well.

When chicken is cooked through, remove from the oven and toss with sauce. This will just coat the chicken.

This recipe is a great hit with the whole family, and you could easily adapt the sauce to your preference on the heat. While we prefer Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, you can use any hot sauce or buffalo sauce for this recipe. We also recommend serving with a low-fat bleu cheese or a healthy ranch dip sauce. We love our Healthy Ranch Dip since it is only 1 SmartPoint per serving or Zero points on the Freestyle or Flex Plan.

Emilee served this with a side of macaroni and cheese, but you could easily add this to a nice side salad or any favorite side dish. The best part of this recipe is that you can make it work for your dietary needs! This sticky buffalo chicken tenders recipe is going to become a favorite for your family!
